Self-led training alone isn’t cutting it
How can you deliver more effective, deep-skill building opportunities for your employees?
Research shows that active learning - peer engagement, expert-facilitated learning and projects with peer and facilitator feedback – drives better learning results1. Degreed Academies supports in-depth upskilling and reskilling programs that optimize outcomes for learners while reducing administrative complexity for companies.

Why?
Deep skill building requires more practice and engagement.

The problem: Today’s solutions aren’t designed to transform your talent
Your HR and L&D teams are expected to:
- Identify and fill skill gaps.
- Build an agile workforce that’s ready to innovate and implement AI
- Ensure employees grow in the right direction—without redundant training or wasted resources
But here’s the reality:
- Large scale transformation is needed: 59% of the world’s workforce will need skill transformation by 2030.
- Businesses aren’t prepared: 42% of C-Suite leaders think their business isn’t prepared for the pace of change.
- Organizations struggle to keep pace with the rapid rate of change: 90% of HR leaders cannot effectively anticipate the skills their workforce needs with the processes and systems they have now.
- Today’s solutions aren’t enough to transform your talent: Low engagement for LMS and Talent Marketplace; these platforms aren’t designed to transform your talent.
That’s where Degreed Academies comes in.
The solution: Degreed Academies make learning impactful
Support cohort-based, in-depth upskilling and reskilling programs that optimize outcomes for learners and streamlines administration for companies.
Instead of just checking the box for learning employees will:
Learn alongside peers
with cohort-based Academies.
Experience peer-to-peer learning opportunities
via discussion boards, projects, and live sessions.
Apply what they’ve learned
through assigned projects that give employees opportunities to apply what they’ve learned to real-world situations.
Engage in structured learning
that can be online-learning or via live sessions to learn from peers, experts, and ask questions.
Academies enable high-impact learning across the talent lifecycle, from onboarding cohorts of new employees with training tailored to their roles, regions, or lines of business to deep skill building for leadership development or change management with training on a new technology adoption.
Real business impact: What Academies can do for you
- Deeper development: Make a bigger impact with cohorts, coaching, credentials - and more
- High workforce agility: Upskill specific cohorts of employees quickly on emerging technologies, new policies, and build a pipeline of future leaders with structured deep learning in academies.
- Higher retention: Less time and money managing learning – and deeper development opportunities
- Personalize development: Build cohort based, guided, and impactful learning experiences that foster peer-to-peer engagements through discussions, projects and more.
